Can I write my own news release?

Because this office is responsible for Yavapai College's media relations, contact with the media must be coordinated through the Marketing and Communications Department at YC.

The department is available to assist you with researching and writing a news release or news item for your program or event. It will help to speed the production of your release if you compile in advance the pertinent information (who, what, where, when, why, and how), along with any publicity photos that you may have.

While it is possible for you to draft the content of your own news release, it must then be shared with the Marketing & Communications Dept. for review, needed editing, and distribution to the media. This procedure works well because this office has established contacts with journalists and an up-to-date media list to maximize exposure.

Request still photography

Marketing-related still photography can be requested using a photo request form online. Once you've logged in to the website, the form is accessible under the Employee tab --> My Services --> Employee Main Menu, which is where you'll see:

I need a printed brochure, flyer, postcard, etc.

To initiate a design project, please complete and submit a marketing request form or "MRF" (available after you log in to the YC website via My Services-->Employees-->Marketing Request Form) that details the project specifications and allows the YC graphic designer to schedule and track your job. Priority is given to jobs as per the prioritized, bulleted list below.

"Amy: The final proof of the trifold is totally fantastic. I cannot wait to show it to our staff and faculty. I really appreciate all the time and effort you put forth on this job." --Erin Elsner, Public Services Education, PV Campus
